WAYS or THE ROACH.

The Bane Of House wives-Wherc He
Comes from aud what He Eats.
The roach has been the faithful at
tendant Of humanity ever since written
history began, but the abominable extent
OF this faithfulness has arisen in civilized
communities chiefly within recent times.
There is a roach, little, outdoor, inno-
cent kind, that is supposed TO be in
digenous in this country. Ii lives in the
fields, under stones and rubbish, and is
good food for birds. But the common
cockroach of the home and fireside came
from the Levant in ships and bales Of
merchandise 10 England, of which coun-
try Wood, the writer ON bugs, says, 'it
has completely taken possession" At
6Bt, as in this country, II was confined
70 seaport towns, but the climate in the
neighborhood of kitchen fires suited it,
and the drippings about the kitchen sinks
gave il the moisture which is as essential
70 1t as food, and 10 il strayed and spread,
coming across the sea to America quickly,
and staying and spreading here, too. un-
til the nuisance Of It's presence, which has
increased every year, has reached In New
York and other large cities along the
coast an extent that is almost intoler-
able. The kitchen fires long since ceased
10 satisfy the desires of is soul. II has
followed water and steam pipes all over
buildings of every sort. Office buildings
and stores are as much oyerrun with the
insects as dwellings. The only relief Is
In The constant killing Of them, and there
are men In New York who make a bust
ness, and a profitable one, of ridding
hotels and large private houses Of the
pests. Even this professional work does
no permanent good, but only brings re-
lief for time.

A Feryid Jury Address.

Capt. Ben Brown was an attorney for
several years after the war. In interro-
gatng witnesses, if his client had been q
soldier, he would never fail TO bring out
that fact, and in his speech to the jury
he, with feryid emphasis, would exclaim
that his client chad breathed the red
flame Of battle" Once when he got OF
his winning piece of oratory, the attorney
on the other side met him as follows:
"Ah, gentlemen Of the jury, my client
has been a ooldier, too. lie has not only
breathed the red fame Of battle, but he
has combed grape and canister from his
CORY locks" Capt. Brown was never
afterward known to allude TO the fame

SENATE COMMIT Es.
Filling of the Vacancies Considered in
Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--After the adjourn
ment of the Senate the Republicans held a
short caucus upon the question of filling
committee vacancies. Nothing was done
beyond appointing caucus committee of
seven, of which Mr. Hoar is chairman, to
arrange matters. Messrs. Blair, Allison,
Evarts, Riddleberger, Dolph and Sherman
are the other members Of the committee.
1t will have its first meeting tomorrow
morning.
The Democratic caucus committee having
the same subject in charge also held a short
meeting for organization this afternoon, but
a quorum was not present. 1t is not pro-
posed by the Democrats to make any de-
mand for a division of the committee chair
manships according to party strength, as
has been rumored. The Democrats hold to the
theory which has prevailed in the past that
the chairmauships belong to the majority.
The Democratic committee will take no
positive action in arranging the minorities
on the Senate committee until they get the
Republican list and see what geographical
distribution is made in the majorities. The
tendency of events upon both sides points
to a harmonious arrangement of all party
matters in connection with the organization
of the Senate and its committees. The
seating of Mr.. Turpie and the objection of
Mr.. Faulkner were the results of an under
standing, to which both sides assented.

A VICTORY FOR PROHIBITION.
Justice Harlan Afflrms the Constitu-
tionality of the Kansas Law.

Justice Harlan Afflrms the Constitu-
tionality of the Kansas Law.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-Justice Harlan
delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court
to-day in the two so-called prohibition cases
of Peter Mugler, plaintiff in error, VS.. the
State of Kansas, Herman Seiebold and
others, affirming the Judgment of the lower
court in the two Mugler cases and reversing
the Judgment in the Seiebold case. The
effect of the opinion is to declare valid the
prohibition laws of the State of Kansas,
and is, of course, victory for
the Prohibitionists. The court said
that the case came up under the laws of
Kansas declaring the maintenance OF
building for the manufacture and sale OF
liquor TO be nuisance, and making the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants a misde-
meanor. 1t was contended that this law
was unconstitutional because it abridged
the rights Of citizens, and deprived citi-
zen of property without due process OF law,
the building used as a brewery being OF
little value for any other purpose.
Justice Harlan said it had been held re-
peatedly that the right Of State to
regulate the sale Of liquor did not invade
the constitutional rights of a citizen. 1t
was contended, however, he said, that no
State Legislature had right To prohibit any
person from manufacturing liquor for his
own use or for export, for the reason that 1t
was an invasion of personal liberty inherent
in citizens II must be observed, however,
he said, that the right to manufacture
drink for ones own use is subject TO
the restriction that it shall not injuriously
affect the public. The right to determine
what was injurious had to exist somewhere,
and the right of determining what measures
are necessary for the preservation of the
public morals, health and safety had there
fore been vested in the States by the consti-
tutional right given them under police
power to regulate their own internal con-
Germs. While this police power could not
be abused, and must only be exercised
for objects of real merit, this court would
certainly not say that the liquor traffic was
not one which the State could lawfully pro-
hibit. because it was well-known that abuse
of intoxicants was productive OF pauper-
ism and crime. The next ground of con
tenticn, the Justice said, was that as the
breweries had been erected prior to the
passage Of the prohibition law, and as they
were of little use except for breweries,
their property was taken without
due process Of law in violation
of the constitution But all property
under our form of government, he held, is
subject to the obligation that it shall not be
used so as to iniuriously affect the right Of
the community and thereby become a
nuisance. The State of Kansas had right
to prohibit the liquor traffic. 1t did not
thereby take away the property OF brewers,
10 simply abated nuisance. The property
is not taken away from its owners; they are
only prohibited from using it for specific
purpose, which the Legislature declared to
be Injurious 10 the community,
